Chapter 80: A lost child? None of my business

A child?

No, two.

His hawk-like eyes held a cold murderous intent, and he did not lower his raised pistol just because he saw they were two children.

"Put your hands up and come out."

He spoke.

The muzzle of the gun was still pointed at the child's head, and the sound was cold and low.

The cold voice slightly dampened Xingxing's excitement.

She blinked her eyes and saw that her third brother's body was red as blood...

There was also a pair of feet vaguely exposed in the pit on the ground.

She swallowed.

A little bit scared, but not too scared.

After all, I had seen similar scenes with my sixth brother and my father.

She's kind of used to it.

Xingxing obediently raised her short arms and trotted two steps towards Shen Xiao.

When a little child stumbles towards you with his hands raised, it seems like he is asking for a hug.

Shen Xiao's brows furrowed even more tightly.

The child looks harmless, but the more harmless he is, the weirder he is.

The most important thing is that this kid looks a little familiar.

Mianmian was so frightened that she became speechless. She was crying madly but dared not make a sound.

This is the child's instinctive fear of extremely powerful and terrifying things. She knows that if she continues to cry at this time, she might really die!

She huddled behind the stars, her legs shaking.

Xingxing quickly moved forward to a position where Shen Xiao could see it clearly.

The weather is hot now, and the child is only wearing a short dress. It is obvious that there is no bomb or anything like that hidden on her body.

At this time Shen Xiao finally remembered why this child looked familiar.

Isn't this the child that Yin Shen asked him to investigate and monitor before?

Shen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and moved the muzzle of the gun to the side a little:

"Two people turn around."

Check if there is anything suspicious on you.

The stars obeyed and spun in circles.

Mianmian was trembling with fear and managed to turn around.

Shen Xiao shifted his gaze away from Xingxing's face and looked around.

There is no one else.

He nodded and finally put the pistol back.

Then, he picked up a shovel and started burying the body.

His own affairs were more important, and the two children didn't look like they would die in the short term, so he didn't want to worry about it.

After two or three shovels, the body could no longer be seen, and Xingxing was no longer afraid.

The third brother looks like a star on TV, so cool!

"Third brother!" Xingxing took two steps closer and began to introduce herself.

"My name is Xingxing, and I'm three and a half years old!"

Shen Xiao paused: "Third brother? What is your relationship with Yin Shen?"

Xingxing was very happy to see that her third brother took care of her:

"It's my big brother!"

Shen Xiao recalled the tone Yin Shen used when he called him before.

He thought Yin was crazy at the time, actually asking him to do something in such a polite tone.

And it was all for a little kid.

Shen Xiao did not stop his hands, but his eyes fell on Xingxing.

"Why are you here?"

Xingxing answered every question and pointed to the top of his head:

"We accidentally fell down and got lost here. My fourth sister and I were playing games in the hotel upstairs~"

"To participate in a variety show!" Mianmian couldn't help but speak up, thinking Xingxing was so stupid.

But as soon as she spoke, Shen Xiao looked at her, and that look scared Mian Mian so much that she shut up immediately and never dared to interrupt again.

Shen Xiao observed Xingxing's expression and basically believed it.

It's hard for such a young child to tell lies, and the superficial injuries on his body looked like they were caused by being scratched by branches when he fell.

Only half of the island has been developed. He is very familiar with the luxury hotel, and of course, the forest here is even more familiar to him.

This place is close to the border, and many things that walk on the edge of the law happen here.

This side and that side of the island are completely two different worlds.

The reason why he came to this place to kill people and bury the bodies was to replace the identity of this corpse.

His undercover mission this time was to take out a small criminal gang, codenamed Operation Y.

This small group roams around the border and has not yet grown big, but it has already posed a considerable threat.

According to the informant's information, a small leader of the gang is about to smuggle a batch of goods from the edge of the island to the other side to meet with the gang headquarters.

This small leader has been in the country, communicating with the gang headquarters online, and no one knows his true identity.

So he came to intercept, killed the small leader, took the goods, and went to meet with the headquarters.

This will provide reliable information to the Criminal Police Corps and allow them to catch the criminals in one fell swoop when the opportunity arises.

Of course, he received no help at all during this disguise.

Once exposed, they will face torture and ultimately death that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Shen Xiao rarely considers the consequences.

What he had to do now was to kill the person and bury the body, take the small suitcase that was originally on the body, arrive at the hidden dock at the agreed time, and wait for the criminal gang to pick him up.

He buried the last shovel of earth and threw some branches on top to make a disguise.

Then, he squatted right above the corpse in the dirt and waved toward the stars:

"Come here."

Xingxing's eyes lit up and she ran over happily.

Mianmian was so scared that she almost went crazy and stood there not daring to move.

The star ran over like a happy puppy.

Shen Xiao was surprised why the child was not afraid.

I was also surprised that Yin Shen had a younger sister, and that his father knew about it.

Is this the new child adopted by father? Not really.

This child looks so clear and pure. As an adopted child, he knows best what kind of people his father has adopted.

Shen Xiao raised his hand, pinched Xingxing's little face, and looked left and right.

Xingxing opened her eyes wide and obediently let Shen Xiao play with her.

Shen Xiao was observing whether the child had any injuries on his face. He could also tell from the complexion of his face whether there were any internal injuries.

Finding there was nothing wrong, he let go.

He rubbed his fingertips.

This feels really good.

His fingertips were rough and covered with old silk. Xingxing felt itchy and giggled. She raised her hand and held his fingertips:

"Third brother, third brother~"

happy!

Shen Xiao had a blank expression on his face, and found the child's excitement weird.

He lowered his eyes to look at his fingertips.

These scarred hands, used to holding cold and hard guns and daggers, were now grasped by warm and soft little fingers.

Almost from the moment our skin touches, I can feel that strong and inexplicable sense of trust.

But that doesn't matter.

He stood up, and the shadow cast by his tall figure completely engulfed the child.

"You guys stay here and wait for someone to find you. There is water here. If you are thirsty, just drink some water. It will be fine if you hold on for three to five days."

Since we are staying in a hotel, there will definitely be a search team coming.

It's none of his business.

After Shen Xiao finished speaking, he picked up the suitcase on the ground and turned away.

The stars were dumbfounded.

She quickly raised her short legs, took a leap, and used the Koala Technique—

He hugged Shen Xiao's calf tightly.

Shen Xiao cursed impatiently in a low voice, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it to his mouth and lit it.

The cigarette butt flickered in the dim light.

A slight tingling sensation went down his throat, removing the bloody smell from his nose.

He lowered his head and blew a puff of smoke directly toward the stars.

“Ahem…”

The koala magic was defeated by the poison gas magic. Xingxing let go of his hands and rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, coughing because of the sting.

When Xingxing finally stopped coughing and opened her eyes, she only saw Shen Xiao's distant back.
